kbuild: remove head-y syntax

2022-10-02T09:06:03Z

Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux. Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry point. A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script. Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section, which is placed before the normal ".text" section. I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner. I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

kbuild: factor out the common installation code into scripts/install.sh

2022-05-11T12:45:53Z

Many architectures have similar install.sh scripts. The first half is really generic; it verifies that the kernel image and System.map exist, then executes ~/bin/${INSTALLKERNEL} or /sbin/${INSTALLKERNEL} if available. The second half is kind of arch-specific; it copies the kernel image and System.map to the destination, but the code is slightly different. Factor out the generic part into scripts/install.sh.

ia64: make the install target not depend on any build artifact

kbuild: use more subdir- for visiting subdirectories while cleaning

2021-10-24T04:49:46Z

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement. Since commit d92cc4d51643 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j) for "make clean". I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep" target no longer exists.

ia64: remove generated/nr-irqs.h generation to fix build warning

2021-02-11T20:11:19Z

Randy reports the following warning when building ARCH=ia64 with CONFIG_IA64_PALINFO=m: ../scripts/Makefile.build:68: 'arch/ia64/kernel/palinfo.ko' will not be built even though obj-m is specified. ../scripts/Makefile.build:69: You cannot use subdir-y/m to visit a module Makefile. Use obj-y/m instead. This message is actually false-positive, and you can get palinfo.ko correctly built. It is emitted in the archprepare stage, where Kbuild descends into arch/ia64/kernel to generate include/generated/nr-irqs.h instead of any kind of kernel objects. arch/ia64/kernel/nr-irqs.c was introduced by commit 213060a4d699 ("[IA64] pvops: paravirtualize NR_IRQS") to pre-calculate: NR_IRQS = max(IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS, XEN_NR_IRQS, FOO_NR_IRQS...) Since commit d52eefb47d4e ("ia64/xen: Remove Xen support for ia64"), this union contains just one field, making NR_IRQS and IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS always match. So, the following hard-coding now works: #define NR_IRQS IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS If you need to re-introduce NR_IRQS = max(...) gimmick in the future, please try to implement it in asm-offsets.c instead of a separate file. It will be possible because the header inclusion has been consolidated to make asm-offsets.c independent of .

kbuild: remove PYTHON variable

2021-02-01T01:37:19Z

Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the 'python' command any more. As in commit 51839e29cb59 ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"), we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3. This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing users to 'PYTHON3'. BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful material. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
